Contracts & Procurement Director

Join Fossefall as Contracts & Procurement Director: build the commercial backbone of Europe's AI factories - the contracting frameworks, supplier relationships and procurement discipline that turn ambition into signed, governed reality.

The role

Infrastructure at this scale isn't just built - it's bought, contracted and governed into existence. Every data hall, GPU cluster and grid connection begins as a commercial decision, and the difference between a project that holds its value and one that leaks it is settled in contracts long before ground is broken. We're hiring the person who owns that difference.

Fossefall develops AI factories that turn Nordic renewable power into sovereign computing capacity for Europe. Our portfolio spans traditional data-centre projects and AI/GPU-infrastructure deployments, moving from early development through Final Investment Decision into delivery. As Contracts & Procurement Director you establish, govern and continuously improve how we contract and buy across that whole portfolio - and you do it hands-on, in live projects, from day one.

You report to the VP Project Delivery and work alongside Project Directors, Project Managers, Engineering, Project Controls - and across the table from contractors, technology vendors, OEMs, integrators and external advisors. The role is deliberately dual: long-term commercial governance, and sleeves-rolled-up support to projects that are moving now. We're hiring for this role in both Oslo and Stavanger - apply from either city.

What you'd actually do

• Set the commercial rules: Build and own Fossefall's Contracts & Procurement framework - standards, procedures, templates, tools and the governance around sourcing, tendering, supplier qualification, contracting, contract administration and close-out.
• Build the supplier base: Establish supplier qualification and strategic sourcing for key project categories and build durable relationships with strategic suppliers.
• Buy the frontier: Develop contracting and procurement strategies for AI and GPU infrastructure and shape commercial engagements with OEMs, system integrators, and technology partners.
• Keep the portfolio honest: Hold the portfolio-level view of key contracts, procurement activity, supplier performance, commercial risks and commitments.
• Stay in the projects: Lead procurement evaluations, contract negotiations and commercial reviews with Project Directors and Project Managers.
• Build the function: Lead and grow Contracts & Procurement within Project Delivery.
